remember when...

06/13/2009

what next?
if i cut all ties?
the end of an era...
future unknown...

do you remember...
climbing the rocks,
barefoot and bold,
poised for adventure-
we had everything.

shells like jewels,
hiding in crevices-
we pounced with delight.

days were endless.

we owned them entirely.

nothing stopped us
back then.

remember how you always fell-
those with weak ankles shouldn't climb rocks.
but you did.
pain was a fleeting inconvenience.
we were unstoppable
limitless
laughing in the face of ...
everything.

were we fools?

we can't go back.

but

i can't go forward
the way we're going.

i miss what used to be.
the foolishness even.
i'm not ready
to be sensible.
